lol, thanks....I'm no photo expert. Here's some basic tips that work for me...use a tripod, turn off the tank circulation, use the manual white balance (if your camera has that option), and take a lot a pictures to learn the nuances of your camera.

Thanks----but
You think after 37 years of teaching I would be able to ask a question properly by now --LOL

sorry--I meant --Could you share some tips on the success you have had with the elegance coral

WOW!:beer:
Those are some great pics! I need to go celebrate. Thanks to everyone for all the incredible pics. I'm sure they will come in handy. I have plans for some of them already.

If anyone has more, I definitely have room for them. Remember, I need pics of sick and healthy Elegance corals.
Thanks again
Darrell

There's a whole thread called Elegance Coral Theory started by Darrell that's full of everything you need to know -- it's a great thread. But quickly, mine is on the sand at the bottom of a 24 inch deep tank slightly shaded. I only have 5x39 T5's but have been very slowly acclimating the whole tank -- taking months actually. I had PC's before. I am up to 10 hours on actinics and 6 hours on full light. As far as feeding goes -- I take small chunks, depending on the size of the mouths, of krill, raw tuna, lancet fish and take it in my hand right into the tentacles making sure they grab on to the bits. So slowly acclimate to higher levels of light and attentive feeding seem to do the trick.

anyone have the link to this thread?

G'day Darrell,

I'm trying to find my bits and pieces to take a photo of mine, and also need to learn how to post pictures :lol:

What I do have for you is a link to MASA, Marine Aquarium Society of Australia. You will probably have to register to see this elegance coral, But I guarentee the time will be worth it. This is the most amazing coral you will probably see in an aquarium.

I'm sure a pm to him about an upclose pic of this coral may be a good idea

Cheers

Chris

I'm not very good at posting links, but the thread is on the first page of the LPS forum. It is a thread that progressed as my research progressed, so you can skip most of the beginning pages. In the beginning I was really struggling to understand what these corals were going through. Somewhere in the middle the pieces really started to fit together. "Elegance coral theory" posted by me.
